REVIEWS OP NEW PUBLICATIONS. 393 



The essays are ever fresh, and will bear reading almost any number of times. 

 We had marked several passages for criticism, but are obliged to conclude the 

 present notice without further comment. We may, however, observe that we 

 scarcely know any author better calculated to write on Natural History for all 

 classes of readers than our amiable neighbour Charles Watebton, Esq. 



The Bee-Keeper's Manual; or Practical Hints on the Management and com- 

 plete Preservation of the Honey Bee, and in particular in Collateral Hives. By 

 Henry Taylor. London : R. Groombridge, 6, Panyer- Alley, Paternoster-Row. 

 1838. pp. 78. 12mo. 



We have been much gratified by the perusal of this unassuming little volume. 

 It is no compilation "got up" to fill the pocket of either author or publisher, 

 being, on the contrary, a manual of the author's apiarian experience, supported, 

 where desirable, by the opinions and facts of the most accredited writers on the 

 subject. Every particular that can be desired by the young Bee-keeper, relative 

 to the humane system, as developed in Nutt's collateral hives, will here be 

 found in a compact and readable volume, illustrated by wood-cuts. It emanates 

 from the press of Messrs. Taylor, of Red- Lion- Court. 



Manual of British Botany ; in which the orders and genera are arranged and 

 described according to the Natural System of De Candolle ; with a Series of 

 Analytical Tables for the Assistance of the Student of the Plants indigenous to, 

 or commonly cultivated in, Great Britain. By D. C.Macreight, M.D., F.R.C.P., 

 &c. &c. London: John Churchill, Princes-Street, Soho. 1838. pp.296, post 8vo. 



It always gives us sincere pleasure to meet with new books for the assistance 

 of the student — books which, without advancing Natural History immediately, 

 will undoubtedly effect the same desirable object indirectly. Since, however, 

 Dr. Macreight, by the copiousness of his title-page — transcribed above — has 

 judiciously abridged the labour of the reviewer, we need not expatiate on the 

 volume further than by observing that, being a convenient pocket-volume, neatly 

 printed, and carefully composed, it cannot but prove a valuable guide to the 

 student of British'plants. It is dedicated to Earl Stanhope, President of the 

 Medico- Botanical Society. 



A Flora of the Neighbourhood of Reigate, Surrey ; containing the Flowering 

 Plants and Ferns. By George Luxford, A.L.S., F.B.S.E. London : John Van 

 Voorst, Paternoster-Row ; W. Allingham, Reigate. 1838. pp. 118. post 8vo.
